The influence of the presence of some surface-active agents in the medium on determination of Cu2+ and Cd2+ ions via Orion ion-selective electrodes was investigated. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyoxyethylene(10)isooetylphenyl ether(TX100) were used as anionic, cationic and non-ionic surface-active agents, respectively. SDS had minor effects on the potentiometric response of the ion selective electrode to Cu2+ ions while CTAB were observed to affect the determination of Cu2+ ions more remarkably. Both CTAB and TX 100 caused to small decrements on the concentration readouts for Cd2+ ions but relatively large decrements were-observed in the presence of SDS.
